Final version of our film feedback

Audience feedback-
Feedback from our peers and other people has told us the strengths and weaknesses of our film.

For example, one of the strengths of our work was the title cards. People thought the alignment with the music, the music itself and the footage in the background worked really well and strongly suited the genre. This is good because it makes our film more like an actual crime film; therefore people would be more willing to go and see it.

One of the weaknesses of our work according to feedback was the meet up with 'The Boss'. This is quite an unorthodox scene as it takes place in a town centre, somewhere you would not normally expect a drug related meeting to take place. Our audience and peers told us that this could be improved, however we decided to make the executive decision to keep it how it was, as we feel that one of the most appealing things about our film was the fact that it portrays elements of life that are not present for most people; so a drug deal in a public place is what we wanted.

One of the ways we adapted our work to suit our audience feedback was the removal of the scene displaying the use of cocaine. Feedback from our audience including teachers told us that we should remove this scene, as it didn't look very realistic and ruined the film, which up to that point was of a higher standard. We eventually decided to change the entire ending of the film to make it more professional.

Audience feedback for edit 1

The first piece of feedback we got was from George Allan. He mentioned that the sound quality was not really that good and we agreed with him as it spoils the build up for the film. To fix this we have decided to find a new file of the song and replace it with the old one so the sound quality is much better.

We also realised that the title cards were not well edited to the beat of the music. for this we edit this so that it matches perfectly aiming it look professional.

Kamal Singh also added that at the start of the film you would see a certificate of the age ratings and other production companies that were involved. We realised that this was missing and so when we get back to editing for the second draft we will need to add these so it makes it more familiar for the audience.

Halfway through the film Rutendo questioned us about how the main character got from one ned of the platform to the other. We realised that this could be a mistake so we had to fix this. This means that we will have to add footage of the main character moving from one platform to the other.

Another thing that we both realised just after publishing the first draft that at no point does the film name come up on screen and this would cost us lots of marks. So when we get back to editing we need to make sure that this is included.

This is all our audience feedback from the first draft of Small Town Money.

Editing Decision

We are contemplating changing the background of our title cards because we feel having a really quick time lapse of traffic driving through a town would suit the name and theme of our film. Audience feedback will determine whether or not we use this or not.

Editing Decision

We have decided that we are going to change the narrative of our film which will mean re-filming the part that we have highlighted.

We are going to be re-filming this part on the 5th of December.
